Yes. The vessel is fully air-conditioned, so you stay comfortable regardless of the weather. The climate-controlled interiors also offer comfort during winter.

We enjoyed a lovely relaxing Staff Christmas Party on the cruise. Airconditioning did struggle downstairs so thankful there was outside to cool down. Beautiful views and lovely food.

Pathway Accounting -

We had an enjoyable time , but maybe a selection of miniature desserts or platter of seasonal fresh fruit would of been nice as not everyone enjoys tiramisu but overall good
